American Outlaws

I left the theatre wondering if I really enjoyed this film or not. And you should never have to ask yourself if you like something...it should be a clear "yes" or "no" answer. Aside from the great number of historical inaccuracies (allow the writers some degree of creative license here), I thought the film had an unfinished feel to it. The story ends just when things are getting interesting, in my opinion. The characters are unconvincing...Timothy Dalton's accent seems to fade in and out through the whole film, as one example. All of the supporting characters are stereotypically stupid or incompetent, while the main characters seem to belong in a different era altogether. To sum it all up, this is an action movie disguised as a western. It is also a very forgettable film, but you might enjoy it for the time it is on screen.

I am not sure what this movie was aiming for. Entertainment? Fail. A historical expose? Fail. Plot? Fail. Acting? Hahaha..... "Lame" does not adequately describe this Hollywood trash. Comparing this movie to other movies of the same genre (eg. "Young Guns") just insults the other movies. All of rave reviews here come across as if they are written by 12 year old girls, and even then it's a bit shocking for me to see them gushing and fawning over this poor excuse for a movie. It's hard to imagine how anyone with even a single brain cell kicking would find this trash to be enjoyable. This film receives one star from me because I can't give half-stars on IMDb.

Honestly, I had low hopes for this film and basically only rented it because I was bored and needed something to watch. I figured I'd seen everything this movie had to offer a million times in other westerns, but I was surely surprised. This is an entertaining movie and I enjoyed it quite a bit, especially the humorous scenes like when Bob got mad that he wasn't being recognized, that was pretty funny. Most teens (and I speak personally) don't choose to watch old men in their 50's gunslinging, so it was pretty cool to see some younger actors. This was probably easy to shrug off and say it's just a young person's film, but even my mom liked it (she's 42 by the way). Anyway, I definitely recommend this, lots of neat stunts and big explosions equal fun. 7.5/10

If you like unrealistic Westerns, you will love this one. It has every stereotypical "Western" cliché they could throw in. The hero can pull off stunts that would make any Hollywood stuntman proud and has the most beautiful girl friend in the west; the "good guys" are all crack shots, have guns that don't recoil and never run out of bullets; get-away horses that just magically appear when needed; their horses can run and run and run; "bad guys" all wear black and of course are just nasty; and it just would not be complete without good hangin', train wreck, several gun fights, a few explosions, incredible escapes from danger and some fancy horse riding. This movie has it all. But if you don't see it, you won't miss much.

Hi people One of the best Western, Action, and Comedy movie i have ever seen. The movie starts cool with some music from mobby guys ridden there horses. Bang action time machine gun fire kanonball flying, during the battle the comedy starts whoooohooo. Nice gun action, sniper action used and crazy dudes on horses (Jessy James). Realy loved the action with the guns! The movie isn't Young guns but it's funny as hell and Beautiful Ali larter play's in it ;) So what u waiting for, go go go and check out the movie :) Quality: 8/10 Entertainment: 9/10 Replayable: 10/10

I saw this movie when it came out in the theatres and loved it. I recently bought the DVD edition and it is wonderful! Colin Farrell is not only an excellent actor (he disguises his Irish accent amazingly), but he very nice to watch. A total hottie that can act, what more could you ask for? The rest of the cast is great and they act very well together. I say that if you liked Young Guns then you will like this movie and vice versa! What are you waiting for already, go out and buy this movie!

Sloppy. That's the best I can say about this stinker. An ultimately over-used Western yarn about a bunch of "rough 'n' tumble" brothers who are oh-so-good at heart, but "bad boys" in the eyes of the corrupt law, yadda, yadda, yadda... The usually good Colin Farrell and Scott Caan mosey through the pic like they just finished a big ole' dinner at the local Montana's (TM), and Ali Larter is soooo horrible that the best I can offer is that she was nice to look at (and I actually go to see an actress ACT in a film!). Not to mention that I saw shots where the boom-mike actually hung in the top of the frame, on more than a couple occasions, for the entire length of the shot! 4/10. Y'all STEER-clear ah this'n, pard'ners!

This movie was fun to watch only if for the fact that it was loosely based on factual events at the beginning and went to stupidity very quickly there after. The actors were all good, but no academy awards. Much of the out door shots were north of my home near San Antonio, Texas so I recognized the scenery right away as not being in Kansas. And as I seem to recall, Jessie never "retired" to Tennessee as portrayed at the end of the movie. Lets admit it, this one was too fast and loose with historical fact to be considered anything other than a Hollywood fantasy, i.e. make believe. Entertaining, but don't take it seriously.
